Figuring out whom to tip and how much they should get can be a daunting task. While the amount varies depending on where you live, the service you are receiving and the number of your guests, below is a general guideline on who gets what at your reception.
- Maitre d’: 15-20% of the reception bill. This is usually split among the waiters and captains, and is less if you also have a club manager.
- Club or Banquet Manager: $100-$300, depending on the number of guests.
- Caterer: 15-20% of food bill. Many times the caterer will include a tip in the final bill. If you’re not sure – ask! And, of course you can always provide an additional tip for "exceptional" service.
- Musicians: $20-$40 dollars per musician. This is not required but can be given for a great performance.
- Wedding Planner: 15-20% of fee. Again, not required, but can be given for exceptional service.
- Chauffeurs: 15-20% of transportation bill.
- Parking attendants: $0.50-$1.00 per car.
- Coatroom & Powder Room attendants: $0.50-$1.00 per guest.
